LEAF TOBACCO CROP.
Comprehensive Review of the Situation
In Kentucky.

Comprehensive Review of the Situation
In Kentucky.
LOUISVILLE, Ky, November 26.-The
C6wier Journal to-day publishes a COM
prehensive and valuable review Of the leaf
tobacco situation, showing the facts of the
yield and supply against the averages OF
consumption
When it is considered that Kentucky
produces So per cent. of the total leaf to-
bacco crop OF the United States, and Ken
tucky, Indiana, Illinois. Tennessee, Ohio
and Missouri produce p per cent. Of the
total crop of the United States, it will be
seen that the summary is Of general inter
est.
The following are the main points of the
article: The Western leaf crop fOOts up
76T, 900, 900 pounds, o. per cent of recent
averages, and the Eastern leaf crop -, co., :
600 pounds, OF 80 per cent decrease. The
Eastern and Western leaf crops, and all the
market stocks of the United States make
up 300, 900, 900 pounds against 59l OOO,-
600 a year ago, and 575, 0O0, 600 two years
ago.
The supply from the new crops and mar
ket stocks falls 2l1 600, 600 pounds below
the late average takings for domestic and
foreign consumption, while in 1856 there
was surplus of $4,000, zoo pounds, and
in 1855 a surplus of 24,0O0,O 900. The
Western hurley crop is -, OOO, 900 pounds,
and the dark and heavy crop 39, ,OOO, 900.
In conclusion the review states In
this historical year OF the tobacco trade,
Louisville has much more than maintain
ed her former pre-eminence As the princi-
pal tobacco market OF tue United States,
aud indeed of the world The business
done here in 1857 materially surpasses in
magnitude that of other years, including
that OF the Jubilee year, 1885"

Boston, Noveaber 26.-The six hun
dred Harvard students who went to New
York 10 witness Thursdays foot ball game
claim that the game was unfairly Won by
Yale, being direct gift by the referee and
umpire.
They say that the touchdown made by
Corbin from which q goal was kicked was
unfair, rs 1t is distinctly provided i'll the
rules that the centre rush cannot run with

which it had not in this case. This would
take of six points from Iale's score.
Then they claim that Sears made a
touchdown at least two minutes before
the end of the first threc-quarters. This
touchdown was disallOwed by Referee
Cook, of Princeton, on the ground that it
was made ten seconds after he had called
time.
Over filty Harvard men who timed the
game will swear that, without counting
time taken out, the total playing time was
forty-three minutes. This would have Civ
en- Harvard four more points, a total of
eleven, and, wOuld have given the team
more confidence and would have won
the game. They say that the umpire, Han
cock, quarter hack of Princeton, was pre-
judiced in his decisions, and that this Is
shown by the aSCert..ined fact that he was
interested in a wager of Sl75 on Yale
against Harvard.

They Want to show Their Power In

NEW YORK, November ga morning
paper publishes the following: "A strong
effort is being made by those members OF
the Knights of Labor who still remain true
to Mr.. Powderly to unite more firmly the
remaining ranks oil Knights, and prove by
results that the present management IS
satisfactory as we'll as a successful one.
The one method by which this can be
demonstrated to the workiDgmen is
through the successful issue of strike.
There has not been any large strike Of
which the officers of the organization had
control since the dismal failure OF the
'longshoremen and the coal handlersn nearly
a year ago. The few strikes that have
since taken place have been small affairs
and lasted short time only, but the labor
leaders long for another time when they
can 'tie up" every surface road in this
city.
Now il is said that trouble will occur
On some one of the surface roads. On
what road it is likely to be there Is no
knowing at present, but the Third Avenue
Liuo has been nIled up again with union
men, who never forgot their WhiPPing two
years ago and are anxious to fight the bat
tie over again on the same ground as be-
fore. This is hinted at as the next rail
road to be struck. The company, victO-
rious before, although at great cost, will
undoubtedly refuse to grant any demand
that may be made upon it. That will
cause strike, and a general "tie-up" to
follow will show how strong the orgsniza-
